When *The ALIZA Canvas* is supplemented by *The ALIZA Process* (**Figure 2**) a true sense of *Who* must use *Which* tools at the different stages of the process becomes apparent. The roller coaster format is ideal for conveying who provides the energy is to enable the process (i.e. the Business, not the Technical Stakeholders) while the loops portray the critical requirement for collaboration between the various stakeholders at specific stages in the process.

**Figure 2.** The ALIZA process explained.

The compact format of The ALIZA Canvas empowers the Business Stakeholder to rapidly communicate *The ALIZA Function*, which must be achieved by the business, how *The ALIZA Strategy*, will deliver it and *The ALIZA Tools* which will be utilized to select the appropriate technologies. The Technical Stakeholders categorize the type of digitization technologies and select the most appropriate methods of achieving *The ALIZA Function.* It paints a clear picture for all the stakeholders, without focusing on the fact that they talk extremely different lan-
